PHIL'SNEW YEARS PRESENT

In one Of the big buildings in the down
town" Of New York, whence the newspapers
rmanatc and the financial wheels that move
the whole country revolvc, there Is cigar
store presided over 10y young man known
as "Phil" lie has IA more pretcntlouS name,
NO doubt. but the customers who buy cigars
ihrrp have never heard it. His face has been
.Iaily reflected in the glitterins show cases OF
fbat establishment for five years. In dc
.cribng him it would be enough to say that
bs principal apparent possessions are IA merry
and formidable mustache and II kind heart.
The little newshoys and newsgiIls III his
uriehborhood have learned to be very fond Of
Phil in the five years they have known llin'
when the weather is cold they fit IN and out
OF his place Of business ike stray BIRDS seek

sohu never said word or wore look that

them 10 feel that their presence was an lntru-
non. They 1uttered in at all times with
rags flying like laglets over their shiyerlng
little. bodies and hair failing over their red
and grimy faces. They warmed their be-
numbed fingers and chirruped together, feel
sng perfectly at home in Pills shop, and then
-iugly or in groups, dartcd out into the cold
~ pursue the difficult business Of earning
gheir bread
ON last New Years eve just before Phil
was ready to close the store, party OF his
little friends rushed ill., Their eyes were
glowing, and their manner indicated that
something unusually exciting was IN the
wind The company was headed 10y blnck

Do they (railroad owners) who are

will continue TO tamely submit while
they load down the country with
their fraudulent stocks--block up the
roads to market--shut out compe-
tition-mahipulate prices, and toy all
the devious ways which they SO we'll
know how to orgA nize, take lorsession
of the peoples government and es-
tablish for the masses such u con-
ditiOn OF life as will make them their
dependents? Do they, suppose that
any considerable portion Of the free
men OF this nation will, when they
fully comprehend the situation, AS
sent to condition Of things which
places 1t in the power Of a few indi-
viduals to so regulate the business OF

expected that the people Ofthe United
States will, without a protest, consent
to be shut out from NIL intercourse
and traffic with each other EXCEPT on
terms prescribed by those who have

4 City EDITORS Opinion.

The city journalist who counts
among his duties that Of examining
the editorials of the country ex-
changes, is perhaps the only person
who fully appreciates the scope ana
influence Of the work of the average
country editor. 10 run a newspaper
successfully In town of Few
thousand people Is no small task
The successful country editor Is o
man of infinite resources. He COM
bines all the practical qualities OF the
sage, philosopher, diplomat. and man
of business. He is fertile in expedi-
ency, full of policy, skilled in MS
knowledge of men, and above al
loyal to his town. He does more for
the good of his locality than any
score of other men in 1t. He keeps
pounding away day after day ana
week after week at the glorious future
of his town, tells of the wondrous
crops that are raised, the supberb To-
cation for roller mill, the bushels OF
money to he made by the building OF
a new railroad, the need Of a new
bank, grocery store or blacksmith
shop, ami one by one capitalists come
along and EGbble up the snaps.
Truly the country editor isa power
In the land for good and he is often
times moi half as we'll appreciated
and patronized az he should be.
